[Diabetes-talk] Help needed

I echo mike's sentiments exactly!!! However, might I also add that
firstly, Heaven knows what kind of "talking meter" she has. If this
Accuchek, forget it. They're not even made anymore. At least the
Voicemate isn't. Secondly, the newer meters now are made so that the
combination of the meter and strip will draw the blood from the hole in
a finger into itself simply VIA capillary action. You don't have to
worry about dropping blood into some great abis, never to be found again
except for maybe a stain in one's clothing or dried blood on the table
in front of you. For with these meters, far much less blood than ever
is needed fore a reading.
As Mike has also said, over the years, I have developed my own technique
that works best for me.

> If the lady has recently become diabetic, though, I would strongly caution
> you and she against going it totally alone; diabetes can be a complex

> Type 1 or Type 2? Has she been seen recently by a physician and CDE? What,
> if any, diabetic complications does the lady have? Is she cognitively
> impaired?
>
> If you really want to have a go, I would strongly urge you to read "the
> American Diabetes Association complete Guide to Diabetes" or the "Joslin
> Guide to Diabetes", both available on BARD, and also "Think Like a Pancreas"
> also on BARD which teaches you how to compute insulin doses. But really this
> is the territory of doctors and Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) and even
> if you do the go-it-alone route, the lady and you as her helper should be
> under the supervision of a certified diabetes educator and at least an
> internist, if not an endocrinologist.
>
> Incidentally, the Count-a-dose is a frame into which one can put two viles
> of insulin and which contains a mechanism to control the plunger of an
> insulin syringe which clicks for each unit of insulin selected. It's a
> simple device but does take some knowledge and practice to use -- knowledge
> best imparted by a CDE unless you are quite clever.BD 50-unit syringes fit
> this instrument; the unit that worked with 100-unit syringes is no longer
> made.

> I am sending you in a private message a book which you can find in HTML form
> on the NFB website, "Bridging the Gap" which will give you an idea of coping
> with diabetes as a blind person. The advice is not out of date although I'm
> using different insulins now than I used at the time my article in the
> booklet was written.
>
> If the lady is a Type 2, you might also want to read "Type 2 Diabetes -- the
> First Year: a guide for the Newly Diagnosed" by Gretchen Becker; it's also
> available on BARD. And in Braille on BARD is also Hope Warshaw's "Complete
> Guide to Carb Counting".
